Come for the race. Stay for the wander. Celebrate it all at the après.
The Copper Harbor Trails Club is firing up something special: the East Bluff Melt Down — a full day celebration on Saturday, March 21, 2026, of everything we love about late-season winter in the Keweenaw.
The morning kicks off with a stout 20K freestyle Nordic ski race testing your lungs on the region’s newest and most challenging terrain, with big climbs, fast, flowy descents, and a sneaky view or two. Shift gears in the afternoon with a laid-back winter wander out to East Bluff, where a crackling fire and hot chili await. Then wrap it all up with a proper après celebration at The Mariner North—live music, awards, and a well-earned bevy or two.
Whether you're here to race your heart out, cruise the trails with friends, or just soak in a perfect March day in Copper Harbor, we hope it becomes your favorite end-of-season tradition.
